waste of money?

Comment:

ok i got a new computer has the recomended system specs to run the BF2 game, and it has a PCI express slot. So is this a worthy graphics card or just a waste of money that probably wont run BF2 that well? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150068

It's a waste of money because that's an AGP card and not PCI express.

I'm confused...if you have a new computer & it has the specs to run the game, why do you want a new video card? And Frosty is correct, the link you posted is to an AGP card, not PCI-e Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro

Summary: AMD makes the best dual core CPU's. With that said, get an X2 with 1M of cache per core, like the X2 4400. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546 Since you like spending money ...
